[He must be doing something right if he's pissing the thing off, and Kotetsu grins humorlessly, elbowing the same spot again. Barnaby's taking way too long to get himself free, so he's got to double his efforts at being a distraction.
He's about to try something crazy like getting under the monster to take advantage of that broken leg and knock it over when his luck with dodging runs out and the other pincer--still bound but no less heavy and powerful--strikes him across the chest in an attempt to throw him back. Kotetsu has no choice but to quickly latch on; if he lets himself be tossed to the side like that he'll be both vulnerable and useless to Barnaby, so he ends up hanging off the ground rather comically, scrambling to climb up before he gets shaken off.]
